| Filing 17 AMENDED complaint by Dorian Swain against Cook County Sheriff's Department (Clark, Denise) |
| Filing 16 ATTORNEY Appearance for Plaintiff Dorian Swain by Denise M. Clark (Clark, Denise) |
| Filing 15 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: (1.) In light of the revised motion 11 to dismiss (which drops the limitations argument per R. 11), the prior motion 9 is terminated without prejudice. The briefing schedule is deemed to apply to the revised motion. The Court does suggest to the Plaintiff that the allegations on what happened are very generalized. It does not take much to adequately state an employment-discrimination claim, but something beyond "discipline" and "reassignment" is generally needed so that the employer is on general notice of the facts. The Plaintiff need not describe supporting evidence, but what discipline and what reassignment is being challenged? Instead of filing a legal brief in response, it might be best for the Plaintiff to file an amended complaint as of automatic right under Civil Rule 15(a)(1)(B) with those additional facts. (2.) On review of the status report, R. 14, discovery is paused for now. The tracking status hearing of 08/11/2023 is reset to 09/01/2023 at 8:30 a.m., but to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called). Emailed notice (mw, ) |
| Filing 14 STATUS Report Updated Joint Status Report by Cook County Sheriff's Department (Little, Charles) |
| Filing 13 STATUS Report Defendant's Initial Status Report by Cook County Sheriff's Department (Little, Charles) |
| Filing 12 MOTION by Defendant Cook County Sheriff's Department to dismiss Revised Motion to Dismiss (Little, Charles) |
| Filing 11 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: On the Defendant's motion to dismiss, the Plaintiff's response is due on 08/15/2023. The defense reply is due on 08/29/2023. But the defense shall file a supplement to the motion on 07/28/2023 addressing: the defense argues that the 90-day limitations period expired on 06/19/2023, so the 06/20/2023 was too late. R. 9 at 4. But 06/19/2023 was the Juneteenth federal holiday, so Civil Rule 6(a)(1)(C) appears to deem the complaint as timely filed. The status-report deadline of 08/03/2023 remains in place. Mailed notice (cn). |
| Filing 10 NOTICE of Motion by Charles Thomas Little for presentment of motion to dismiss #9 before Honorable Edmond E. Chang on 7/25/2023 at 08:30 AM. (Little, Charles) |
| Filing 9 MOTION by Defendant Cook County Sheriff's Department to dismiss Plaintiff's Complaint (Little, Charles) |
| Filing 8 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: Initial tracking status hearing set for 08/11/2023 at 8:30 a.m. to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called). Instead, the Court will set the case schedule after reviewing the written status report. The parties must file a joint initial status report with the content described in the attached status report requirements by 08/03/2023. Plaintiff must still file the report even if Defendants have not responded to requests to craft a joint report. If not all Defendants have been served, then Plaintiff must complete the part of the report on the progress of service. Also, counsel (or the parties, if proceeding pro se) must carefully review Judge Chang's Case Management Procedures, available online at ilnd.uscourts.gov (navigate to Judges / District Judges / Judge Edmond E. Chang). Because the Procedures are occasionally revised, counsel (or the party, if proceeding pro se) must read them anew even if the counsel or the party has appeared before Judge Chang in other cases. Emailed notice (Attachments: #1 Status Report Requirements) (mw, ) |
